CFO Services
Need a steady hand at the finance wheel? All of our managing directors are also experienced Chief Financial Officers of public and private companies involved in the mining, exploration and technology sectors. We can be appointed as your CFO on a non-exclusive part-time basis.
As your CFO, we'll be an active member of your executive team from supporting the CEO to dealing with the board of directors.
